Four hundred and eight had to retreat
At the end of the day, Liu Bei's heart was dripping blood, and Liu Zhang slashed Liu Bei's fragile heart again and again. In the end, Liu Bei Mingjin withdrew his troops, in the past, Liu Zhang would not pursue Liu Bei, that was because he was not willing to use materials, this time Liu Zhang did not give him a chance at all and directly let Ma Chao and Huang Zhong pursue......
One of the two threw explosives at the enemy like a mad dog, and the other shot like a wolf. Chasing this kind of thing, Huang Zhong likes to do it the most. He still likes bows and arrows to crossbows, shooting while running, and each arrow takes a human life.
Liu Bei led a few people all the way towards the city, and the rumbling sound from time to time from the rear made Liu Bei very helpless. Your own cavalry is a precious resource, especially horses. Although he got a state, he still couldn't bear it because he lost it like this.
finally ran to the edge of the city, and Ma Chao and the others didn't chase after it much. But Liu Bei looked back and almost didn't catch his breath. It seems that more than a thousand people have died in such a moment, these people are beasts, right? finally entered the city and watched Ma Chao and the others slowly retreat......
Three brothers, you look at me, I look at you, the three people with gray faces look at each other. The green robes on Guan Yu's body were dyed gray, and there seemed to be a little blood on his arms. Zhang Fei's face was also abrupt, but his expression was a little confused? Although Liu Bei was the cleanest, he was the most heartbroken.
It took a long time for Liu Bei to say: "Go back today and have a good rest, and rest for two days." Zhang Fei was no longer as excited as he was when he came, and now he looked confused, and he suspected that he had a dream and might have fought a fake battle.
Guan Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Third brother understands why the war is tight, then Liu Zhang is really powerful, we can't fight him at all." Those strange weapons are endless, and you haven't seen the most powerful kind of weapons yet, just look at the walls and you'll understand. Guan Yu didn't have any excitement at all, and he felt that since he killed Yan Liangwen Chou, the mode of this war seemed to have changed?
Zhang Fei looked confused: "Big brother, what is that?" There was a cute expression on his black face, and he was a little overwhelmed, as fragile as a child.
Liu Bei pulled Zhang Fei and said with a wry smile: "If the third brother stays longer, he will naturally become familiar with Liu Zhang." This Liu Zhang is much more terrifying than the Liu Zhang we saw in Xiapi. If there is another pre-battle dialogue, the third brother must not offend Liu Zhang too much. "Afraid, this is really afraid.
"Lord, let's go back to the city to discuss it first, Cao Cao has already marched, presumably Liu Zhang will know in a few days. When Liu Zhang withdrew his troops, we stepped up our defense and completely occupied the state, if Liu Zhang attacked Cao Cao in the future, we would attack Hanoi County...... "Liu Zhang is too strong, so strong that Xu Shu has to use Cao Cao."
Today's exciting battle made Zhang Fei not even have the desire to drink, so he hurriedly took a few bites of food and went back to sleep. The wound on Guan Yu's arm was not healed yet, but after another day of running today, the wound burst open. I finally bandaged it, and after eating a few bites of food, I went back to rest.
Liu Bei went to rest early, and to be honest, although he didn't fall asleep, he was very tired. Today is really a nightmare day, and I feel like there is still the sound of bombing in my ears. The battlefield is so close to here, and Liu Bei fell asleep in constant fantasies......
Liu Bei is so miserable here, but Liu Zhang is very excited here, especially Ma Chao and Huang Zhong. One with a few hundred people chased after two fierce generals, and a cavalryman with new weapons chased others and could only be beaten by themselves. When did the rule of the battlefield change to being beaten?
"The lord fought really well today, the red-faced Guan Yu and the black-faced Zhang Fei were chased by me and fled in all directions." Ma Chao is really excited, I don't know if it feels like this when he changes to Lu Bu?
Huang Zhong also said excitedly: "This kind of hand crossbow is really easy to use!" "This kind of short and concise weapon is too good for Huang Zhong to run.
Zhang Ren, as the commander, also said with a smile: "Today I saw clearly on the stage that several of Liu Bei's brothers were chased around. "He watched it very well today, especially when Zhang Fei and Guan Yu ran away.
Liu Zhang looked at the happy appearance of several people: "It's worth being happy today, go and let the kitchen cook a few more dishes, and everyone can eat something good." Tomorrow we are ready to break the city, and we are ready to occupy and annex the state. "As long as Liu Bei is beaten away, this place will naturally be Liu Zhang's. There will definitely be no situation where Liu Bei occupies a county and consumes it himself, and he will discount his legs at one time.
Although you can't drink alcohol, it can't stop the feeling of festivity. As the best dishes were served, several generals began to feast, and at this time a fast horse rushed into the army. It seemed to be an urgent report from the rear, and the captain patrolling at the gate came directly to the army with a messenger.
"Lord Cao Cao led an army of more than 60,000 to attack the Tiger Prison Pass......" After saying that, the letter was taken by Zheng Du and sent over, Liu Zhang did not take over, but signaled Zheng Du to read it himself.
After reading the letter to Zhang Ren for a while, Zheng Du began to pass it on, but Zheng Du said: "Cao Cao's army did not move, but drew troops to forcibly attack the Tiger Pass. Yan Yan had already fought a battle with Cao Cao, and although we had the advantage, Cao Cao did not retreat. Lord Zhang has already transported a batch of earthen artillery to the front line, and he should have stabilized his position by now. It's just that Cao Cao is really a little crazy, and he doesn't seem to care about the death of the soldiers, and he attacks with his life? "Tiger Prison Guan Yan Yan is not so easy to speak, that one is definitely a stable general, which can make Liu Zhang absolutely reassured.
Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Put it aside for the time being, and then talk about it after eating." "An army of 50,000 wants to break through its own tiger prison? The princes of the Eighteenth Route fought a decisive battle in the Tiger Prison Pass, but they fought for several months. But will Cao Cao have any conspiracy, or is he allied with Liu Bei?
Because of this war report, everyone has not eaten so fragrant for a meal. However, Sima Yi has been thinking about what will happen here if Liu Zhang withdraws his troops? Is it all to Liu Bei, or is it to occupy a Shangdang county? Sima Yi felt that he could occupy Shangdang County first, and then form a confrontation with Liu Bei, so as not to prevent Liu Bei from crossing the river and entering Hanoi County.
After eating, Liu Zhang was ready to discuss the matter, and Sima Yi directly said: "If the lord withdraws, we can be stationed in Shangdang County, and we can't give Liu Bei a chance to cross the river." Sima Yi knew that Liu Zhang did not bring many soldiers, even if he was defeated, with Liu Zhang's withdrawal, Liu Bei would definitely come back, and it would only increase casualties at that time.
Liu Zhang nodded and said, "If this is the case, Zhongda can lead two troops to garrison Shangdang County, and if Liu Bei attacks in a big way, he will retreat to Hanoi County." Rely on the river to defend and prevent Liu Bei from crossing the river. ”
Zheng Du said: "The lord seems that Liu Bei is allied with Cao Cao, if we go to war with Cao Cao, then Liu Bei will inevitably come to cross the river to attack us." If we fight with Liu Bei, Cao Cao will attack us, and these two ...... "Don't the Han thieves who said they are going to stand on each other?"
Liu Zhang nodded and said, "They may not have an alliance on the surface, but they have the heart to do it." It looks like I'm the Yuan Shao of the year now, but they want to kill me? Liu Zhang actually wanted to say that he became Cao Wei, Liu Bei became Eastern Wu, and Cao Cao became Shu Han. This is very interesting, do you want to wait for them to fight, or do you say that you will go to the south first and kill the real people of Soochow?
"The lord doesn't have to care about what Cao Cao does, why don't you defeat Cao Cao first?" Cao Cao's doing this had already made Zheng Du and the others very angry.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Yuan Tan has just occupied Qingzhou and Jizhou, which will make him consolidate his strength." But what if he found himself caught between Liu Bei and Cao Cao? Secondly, he must not worry about Yuan Shang, let them go and make trouble, why don't we go to the south to take revenge first? Liu Zhang felt that Jiujiang and other places should be returned to him, and Sun Ce beat himself, and Sun Quan should also pay off the debt for his brother. When you stop by and go by yourself, you can also take the time to study the steam engine.
It seems that he is going to surround these three people from a strategic position? But it's good that he can attack Cao Cao or Liu Bei from all directions, of course, Liu Zhang doesn't need a small force now. Sun Quan has a lot of good talents around him, of course, there are many big families in Yangzhou.
However, these so-called big families have nothing to do with Liu Zhang, if anyone dares to show their faces, Liu Zhang will fan them one by one. I can't say much about my current officials, but there are definitely a lot. In the later stage, Liu Zhang was also preparing to build some fleets at sea, and the south itself needed absolute control.
Of course, Soochow has its own characteristics, such as the family's private leader. In fact, in a few years, Liu Zhang had a large number of grassroots and even middle-level officials. When the time comes, all of them will be sent to the south, and you can sit there and see if those people can still jump with you.
Those gate valves think that xenophobia is enough, and when there is no shortage of talents, the so-called gate valve loses the meaning of existence. Liu Zhang was not afraid that these people would take the lead in rebellion, and under the garrison of the army, the one who took the lead would cut that one. Those who are not afraid of death can try it to see if it is their head iron or their own sword iron.
With a talent reserve, Liu Zhang also has real capricious capital. Compared with the development of the Central Plains, it is far better to develop the coastal zone and the south. This is the real treasure land, and it is no exaggeration to say that the output of the south is enough to supply the entire Han Dynasty. Cao Cao and Liu Bei actually secretly played ambiguous, so let them be ambiguous themselves.
Anyway, they are already turtles in the urn, so whatever they want, I won't wait to see you. If you solve the problem in the south, you can also produce mortars, you can also study steam engines, and you can build steel sea ships. In this case, Liu Zhang can prepare for the future. As soon as he pacifies the Central Plains, the south will almost have a certain foundation. A small island country or a small treasure island can go sightseeing and determine the ownership. Of course, there are a lot of natives in the island country, so why don't all the men come to open mountains and build roads? Women are ......
